The most Sunderland phrase you can think of?

Both spot on

I reckon "marra" might be up there as the most Sunderland word for me, like. I learned it on here; no-one in Shildon or Bishop says it.

Loads say it in Cumbria.

I'm hearing marra being mentioned a lot more these days and they are even saying nice one as well.

All the best marras. I think its an old shipping term.

I heard it was a mining term, from the fellas you went underground with. I could be wrong though

 

[Lexingtongue]

'Why nor, ya fucken daft .'

 

[vinegar hill]

It's a Durham pit village word that they use all over the north east now (from what I can see), certainly not a Sunderland word.

Well it’s used in Ryhope, but there’s still plenty of owld pitmen left in Ryhope.
Sunlun was in County Durham ya naar!

[mackem in milan]

I didn't realise until I moved out of the area at 18 that this wasn't correct English

I still think it is and believe the rest of the country is wrong about its proper usage.

When people say finned, instead of find

“Eeee a can it finned (sic) me glasses!”

Used shan for the first time in years the other day.

Tret, used instead of treated is definitely a north eastern thing, not sure about just sunderland

 

[tunstallhill]

When people say finned, instead of find

“Eeee a can it finned (sic) me glasses!”
